Best Friends by Sheri The Original Calming Shag Fur Donut Cuddler Cat & Dog Bed

I purchased this for one of my four cats who has a lot of anxiety issues. All four ended up loving it, but the one I purchased the bed for did not want to share so she peed right in the middle of it resulting in my needing to wash it. I purchased the small, so it has no zipper to remove the cover. I washed it as instructed and the bottom of the bed matted, it got a 2-inch tear in the seam that runs along the sides to the bottom and the stuffing in one area of the sides got all bunched up, leaving a section of the side stuffing-less. I was able to move the stuffing a bit, but there is still a gap. Disappointed in the quality, but for the price, I guess I got what I paid for.

After the washing, Frankie Jo was back using it so I hope she just doesn't pee on it again because I am not sure how the bed will hold up to a second washing. … more

I saw these and was so excited to get them one because it looked so nice and soft and comfy. And it was. I love it. If I had one my size I would use it! Unfortunately, for some reason, my cats are totally freaked out by it. I waited a while to see if they would get in it on their own..........nope. I put cat nip in it. Nope. I put them in it and they acted like I had set them on a hot plate! They seemed to completely hate the feel of it. It does have a unique feel, almost like real fur............. they aren't having it though. Period. Oh well. Can't win them all. It was absolutely no fault of the bed itself, which was very nice and soft and plushy.

I am giving it five stars and a recommend but it may have more appeal to dogs than to cats. … more

Both my 4 year old cat and my 4 month old disappointed me when I thought I had purchsed them a treat. My kitten is severely afraid of it-even after trying to put his toys in there. My 4 year old literally pushed it off the couch upside down and basically told me "NO WAY MOM!.I have left them in place for over a week-NOPE.Hoping I can get a refund or a CHEWY credit.I will gladly donate them to our local shelter for a dog or cat that will be IN LOVE with them.

This bed JUST arrived today. I took it out of the packaging and my little dog was eager to jump in it and snuggled right in. I couldn't get him out of it. I needed something for under my desk while I'm working since he spends so much time at my feet. He loves it and I'm so happy! For reference, I ordered the Small for my 18 pound dog and he fits it perfectly.

This is a great bed for the cats and the throw that was bundled with it has been adopted and is loved by my Luna. Made the mistake of not reading the reviews about drying it, though. DO NOT DRY IN DRYER - AIR DRY. The bed came out beautifully from the washer and, following the instructions, I put it in the dryer on low heat. And, yes, it matted (would have given 5 stars but for this flaw). Still a great bed, just not as pretty. Intend to pick up another when they are available.

I originally bought this for my cat, the world's fussiest animal, and she would not even consider stepping into it. I tried for a month but no. So I gave it to a friend for her small dog, and he loves it. He seems so comfortable in it, he won't sleep anywhere else now. He and his favorite toy sink into it and he sleeps really well. Easily washable and definitely a good one!

I was hesitant getting this for our 12 week old Lab pup but I did. I bought the medium size and I am so so glad I did. He LOVES it! I say go to your spot and he jumps right in and lays down. We will probably replace it with an XL when he out grows but for now it was worth it.

He jumped into it, stuffed his big nose into it and it immediately calmed him down. I’m so happy for him - his safe space feels safer. This is not for hot doggies - we just shaved ours , so he’s chilly, if I don’t update- that means he loves it all year round and the bed is holding up :)

I, and cats, liked this fairly well at first. Needs improvements. The sides roll down and don't stay up easily making that snuggly nest I was looking for. These are low edges compared to other beds in this category in my opinion. The other issue, as others have pointed out, is that for the small size, the cover is not removable for washing. So of course the cat threw up in it right away. Washing it was a big hassle, as was drying it. I have a similar orthopedic crate mat (that he ALSO threw up on --don't ask!) and that was so much easier to wash and put back. I will look for a different model next time.

I hesitated spending the amount of money on this bed as my dachshunds are notoriously fickle. The "burrow" bed I had purchased elsewhere was treated as an oversized chew toy (and eventually given to my daughter's cat) and the two traditional beds had also seen better days due to chewing. My pair of dogs loved this bed from the time I unwrapped it and it is their main place to rest while I am working at home. The naughtiest dachshund still occasionally tries to chew it, but so far, the bed has been resistant to damage.
